invitation, welcome, and inclusion to all
WHAT WELCOME MEANS TO US
As Christ loves, cherishes, and calls each human being as a child made in God’s image, we at Stone House Presbyterian Church strive to be a community of invitation, welcome, and inclusion to all.
No matter if you have walked in faith for decades,
or if you are just starting your search for what is holy and good,
We welcome you.
No matter the color of your skin,
the languages you speak, or the places you come from,
We welcome you.
No matter how many years you have walked this earth,
We welcome you.
No matter how light or heavy your burdens,
We welcome you.
No matter your profession
or the number of your possessions,
We welcome you.
No matter your gender,
We welcome you.
No matter who you love
and who loves you,
We welcome you.
No matter your history,
We welcome you.
No matter if you are a sinner in need of grace,
a saint gifted by God,
or like all of us, a strange mix of both,
We welcome you,
and we are grateful to have you here with us.
